Samuel Beckett and Modernism Modernist Literature and Criticism Giambattista Vico and Joyce

Abstract

ABSTRACT Joyce and Beckett aimed to create a language which, unlike world English, is no one's mother tongue, Joyce by exploiting the phonological and morphological principles for the production of new words, the lexicon's open-class “dictionary.” Beckett, after imitating but ultimately resisting Joyce's lexical inventiveness, extracted the late minimalist style from the lexicon's nonproductive grammatical function words.
